This week, we're talking Interior Design! Award-winning designer Dane Austin offers a refreshingly authentic approach to creating spaces that truly reflect their inhabitants. 

Dane beautifully articulates what sets his work apart - rather than imposing a signature style, he designs spaces that embody each client's unique definition of beauty and luxury. When pressed to describe his aesthetic, he offers a compelling blend: "Tom Ford meets Wes Anderson with Billie Holiday" - combining refined tailoring with playful whimsy and soulful imperfection.

This deeply personalized approach requires going beyond surface preferences. "We're in parts of people's homes that some people never see," Dane explains. "We're lining your underwear drawer and have to know how you organize all of your belongings." This intimate understanding allows him to create environments that feel genuinely aligned with how clients live.

Behind Dane's artistic vision lies sophisticated business savvy. He's built a nimble team that combines local creative talent with remote specialists, allowing his firm to scale up or down based on project demands. This flexibility reflects lessons learned from years of experience and multiple business coaches who helped him develop systems that support both creativity and profitability.

Perhaps most compelling is Dane's perspective on wellness as essential to both design excellence and entrepreneurial success. Despite his impressive achievements and growing industry recognition, he's intentionally simplifying his professional commitments to prioritize health and personal connections. "If you're not filling up your cup, then how are you expected to fill up the cups of others?" 

Ready to create spaces that truly reflect who you are while supporting how you want to feel? Listen now to discover how thoughtful design can transform not just your home, but your entire sense of wellbeing.

Have you ever felt that subtle nudge from your intuition telling you to completely change direction? That's exactly what happened to Adele DiMarco when she realized her carefully planned medical career wasn't aligned with her true purpose.

Adele shares the pivotal moment when, while reading a book by Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, she experienced full-body clarity that medical school wasn't her path. "I literally felt like I set myself free," she reveals, describing the physical sensation of liberation that came with honoring her intuition. This moment launched her on an unexpected journey toward becoming a "mastery level facilitator" and founder of Yinovate Consulting and Coaching.

What makes Adele's approach unique is her ability to integrate seemingly separate domains - strategic planning, culture strengthening, team building, and leadership development - into one cohesive process she calls a "whole systems up level." Working primarily with C-suite executives, particularly women in male-dominated industries, she creates spaces where authentic leadership can flourish.

Perhaps most compelling is Adele's perspective on the workplace as "this highly underutilized learning community for personal transformation." Rather than compartmentalizing professional development and personal growth, she sees our careers as powerful vehicles for evolving as whole human beings.

Lydia Knight opens her conversation with a stark admission: "I grew up in a cult." Her grandmother was the cult leader, and young Lydia lived with the constant fear that Satan worshippers secretly ruled the world and were hunting her family. When she complained of back pain as a child, her mother explained it was because these Satan worshippers had kidnapped her, repeatedly broken her spine, and inserted needles into her eyes. This distorted reality shaped her entire world until adulthood.

The turning point came through education. While attending university, Lydia discovered psychology and neuroscience principles that helped her understand false memories and how the brain works. She developed a systematic approach to reprogramming her own neural pathways, allowing her to escape the cult mentality that had imprisoned her for decades. Later, she successfully applied these same principles to overcome a life-threatening eating disorder.

This personal transformation led to the founding of The She Center, where Lydia and her team have helped over a thousand women end eating disorders and reclaim their lives. What began as a specific solution expanded into executive coaching as clients recognized these neuroscience principles could transform every area of their lives.

What happens when the perfect American dream life is shattered in an instant? For Jenna Ann Miller, a traumatic cycling accident that left her husband Steve with a severe brain injury didn't just upend her family's reality—it transformed her understanding of what life truly is.

In this profound conversation, Jenna shares the extraordinary spiritual awakening that accompanied her darkest moment. "It was as if someone opened up the top of my head and just poured love into my whole body," she explains, describing the paradoxical experience of finding overwhelming love and connection in the midst of devastation. As her husband lay in a 59-day coma and faced the arduous journey of literal rebirth—relearning everything from breathing to walking—Jenna discovered dimensions of love, community, and purpose she never knew existed.

Through her CaringBridge blog that eventually became her memoir "The Phenom's Wife," Jenna created something magical: a field of collective energy where thousands of readers (many complete strangers) participated in what can only be described as synchronistic support. From Alaska-caught salmon appearing on her doorstep to executive-level insurance intervention happening exactly when needed, the "coincidences" defied explanation. This community carried her through the dual challenges of Steve's brain injury and later cancer diagnosis, showing her what's possible when vulnerability meets collective compassion.

Perhaps most compelling is Jenna's central question: How can we access this profound sense of presence, connection and clarity without experiencing catastrophic trauma? "The person I was before was just gunning, running, achieving her to-do list," she reflects. "Life is not the to-do list, life is not the accolades and the bank account. Trauma unfortunately shows us what it really is." Her journey invites us all to reconsider what truly matters before crisis forces the lesson upon us.

Jenna's Book Recommendation: The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer

More about Jenna: Jenna’s life changed forever in 2017 when her husband, Steve, suffered a traumatic brain injury in a cycling accident.

Before that, she had built what felt like a storybook life—a loving marriage, two wonderful kids, and a fulfilling career as an interior designer. But when tragedy struck, Jenna was thrust into the dual roles of caregiver and single parent. Determined to bring Steve back to life, she chronicled her journey in a public diary on CaringBridge, which eventually became The Phenom’s Wife.

In this captivating conversation with numerology expert Remington Donovan, we journey into the mystical world of numbers and discover how they can reveal profound truths about ourselves. What if the numbers that keep appearing in your life are actually messages from the universe? What if your birthdate holds the key to understanding your soul's purpose? 

Remington shares his extraordinary upbringing in an ashram founded by Swami Satchidananda, where he was immersed in spiritual teachings from childhood. This unique background led him to explore Western hermetic mysticism and ultimately develop his expertise in numerology. With disarming humility and clarity, he breaks down complex concepts into practical wisdom anyone can apply.

Discover how your birthday creates a personal numerology chart that reveals your soul number, karma, gifts, and life path. Learn why those with soul number 10 possess "star power" that thrives when expressed outwardly, and why those with life path 8 carry abundant healing energy. Remington explains what it means to be in a "nine year" in 2025 – a time of subtlety, refinement, and mastery that calls for a deeper, more sensitive awareness in everything we do.

The conversation takes fascinating turns as Remington shares the story of unexpectedly delivering his daughter and previews his upcoming book on angel numbers – those mysterious repeating sequences like 333 or 777 that appear in our lives with uncanny timing. He emphasizes that numerology isn't about predicting the future but providing a framework for self-discovery: "Know thyself. The numbers help you do that."

Whether you're a numerology enthusiast or completely new to the concept, this episode will transform how you think about the numbers in your life and open your eyes to the subtle messages the universe might be sending your way.

Could the key to emotional freedom, mental clarity, and personal transformation be hiding in something as fundamental as your breath? In this eye-opening conversation, breathwork facilitator Jenn Warwick reveals how conscious breathing techniques can unlock doors within us that logical thinking cannot open.

When we first hear about breathwork, many of us think of simple relaxation exercises or meditation support. But as Jenn explains, transformational breathwork journeys go much deeper – creating an altered state where the logical mind quiets and the subconscious becomes accessible. Through specific breathing patterns guided by a skilled facilitator, we can open energetic, emotional, and physical channels that may have been blocked for years. Host Jeanne Collins shares her personal experience with breathwork, describing how just one journey session helped her recognize and release protective armor she'd been carrying since childhood.

What makes breathwork so revolutionary is its accessibility. Unlike many wellness practices that require special equipment or extensive training, breathing is something we all do constantly. Jenn demonstrates how even three conscious breaths can shift our nervous system from stress to calm, and how different techniques can be used throughout the day – from energizing morning practices to sleep-inducing evening routines. For busy parents or professionals struggling to find "me time," Jenn offers practical suggestions for incorporating breathwork into even the most hectic schedules.

The science behind breathwork continues to validate what ancient healing traditions have known for centuries. Conscious diaphragmatic breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, signaling safety to the body and creating a cascade of positive physiological responses. Meanwhile, more active breathwork techniques can help clear stagnant energy, increase focus, and access the creative problem-solving capabilities of the subconscious mind. Ready to discover how something as simple as your breath could transform your life? Listen now and take your first step toward breathing with intention.

Jenn's book recommendation: Just Breathe - Dan Brule

More about Jenn:

Jenn has been in the fitness and wellness industry for over 20 years and is passionate about practices that place a large emphasis on mind-body awareness and optimizing vitality and personal growth. 

As a Breathwork Coach, Jenn believes that breathwork is one of the most important pillars of health because of its ability to regulate our body’s nervous system, which effects all systems in the body: pulmonary, lymphatic, digestive, respiratory, immune, endocrine, and more. The better and more efficiently we breathe, the more optimally these systems work together to heal and elevate the body. The skillful coaching tools and insights that Jenn imparts are proof that breath is the portal that opens channels for release, personal growth and transformation.

Words shape our reality in profound ways we rarely notice. When was the last time you paused to consider what "identity" truly means to you? Or how your understanding of "surrender" affects your daily choices?

Author Rhiah Krista Kujat invites us into a transformative relationship with language in this soul-stirring conversation about her book "Life's Poetic Glossary." With stunning vulnerability, Rhiah shares how her path from environmental advisor to actor to somatic practitioner ultimately led to creating this unique meditation on the humanity behind our vocabulary. After selling her successful retreat business during the pandemic, she embarked on a two-year journey of exploration around the world—a radical experiment in freedom that birthed her creative vision.

"I've always written with metaphor," Rhiah explains, "because I could express sentiments that weren't available to me in the English language." This limitation became her inspiration. Words like "passion," "joy," and "calling" become diluted through casual use, losing their depth and personal resonance. Through poetic definitions paired with breathtaking x-ray flower photography, Rhiah reclaims these words, giving voice to their subtle nuances and transformational power.

The book functions beautifully as a daily oracle—open to any page for inspiration or a word to contemplate throughout your day. As Rhiah reads her definitions of "identity" and "surrender," we experience how poetry can capture the paradoxes of human experience in ways conventional language cannot. Identity both defines us and limits us; surrender both releases control and expands possibilities.

Whether you're looking to deepen your journaling practice, enhance your mindfulness, or simply surround yourself with beauty that speaks to the soul, this conversation offers fresh perspective on how the words we use create the lives we lead. 

Rhiah's book recommendation: 

The Power of Enough - Elizabeth Husserl

More about Rhiah:

Rhiah’s work spans from educating and mentoring others through healing and relational dynamics within family systems, as well as supporting women in cultivating their connection to their sensuality. Her passion for embodiment is expressed through dance, which has led her to pole-dance in New York, salsa in Cuba, and tango in Argentina. Though born and raised in Calgary, Canada, she has since lived around the world and now resides in Los Angeles, where she just released her debut collection of poetry called Life’s Poetic Glossary.

Rock bottom has a way of becoming solid ground when you're ready to rebuild. In this powerful conversation, Austin Linney shares his extraordinary transformation from methamphetamine addiction and alcoholism to becoming a thriving entrepreneur, business owner, and mindset coach.

Austin doesn't hold back as he recounts the moment everything changed - staying awake for eight days straight on meth, seeing hallucinations, and finally receiving the wake-up call that prompted him to walk away from hard drugs forever. While his journey to total sobriety took years, his raw honesty about the process illuminates how our darkest moments can become our greatest teachers.

What makes Austin's coaching approach particularly effective is his commitment to authenticity. "One of my first mentors said it's very easy to be a coach if you're authentic to who you are... You only coach what you've been through," Austin explains. This philosophy allows him to connect deeply with clients facing similar struggles, whether addiction, divorce, or major life transitions.

The conversation explores fascinating territory beyond recovery, diving into why successful business people often have damaged personal lives, how we wear masks to please others, and why most people need permission to become who they've always meant to be. Austin shares intimate insights about his spiritual growth journey, working through childhood trauma, and preparing himself to break generational patterns as he looks toward fatherhood.

Ready to construct a life that truly reflects who you are? This episode delivers profound wisdom for anyone seeking authentic change. Remember to follow us on Instagram @HouseofJermar and subscribe to join our mission of empowering 1 million women to live all in.

Do you have boxes of family photos you've been meaning to organize but have never gotten around to it? Or what about the photos saved onto a backup hard drive or thumb stick? Haleh Shoa, founder of Picturli, shares how they preserve our most precious memories in ways that go far beyond simple scanning.

Drawing from her personal experience archiving her own family's photos after they fled the Iranian revolution with just three suitcases of memories, Haleh reveals how proper photo archiving preserves not just images but the crucial context that makes them meaningful. 

The conversation takes us behind the scenes of professional photo organization, from creating family timelines to properly organizing decades of memories. Haleh offers practical tips anyone can use to begin tackling their own photo collections: group similar media types, start with albums rather than loose photos, and understand that a typical shoebox holds approximately 1,000 photos while albums contain 300-500 images.

Beyond the technical aspects, we explore the entrepreneurial journey and wellness practices that sustain Haleh through the challenges of business ownership. She shares how gratitude, redefining success beyond financial metrics, and recognizing the value of personal wellness create a foundation for meaningful work. For anyone with boxes of memories waiting to be preserved or entrepreneurs seeking balance, this conversation offers both practical wisdom and inspiration to take action before it's too late.
